Code 82 is change oil soon. If you have just changed the oil or go have it changed somewhere then you can clear it, but DO NOT simply clear it WITHOUT changing your oil and filter! Never neglect regular oil changes. $20 isn't going to break the bank. It will go a long way to ensure your engine will operate for as many years as possible. To clear the change oil code turn your car on, but leave it in park. Push the menu button until you see oil life in your DIC. Push and hold the reset button.
it wont go away because their is a mechanical problem and or problem with oil change [ not enough oil wrong filter etc ] will need to have vehicle scanned for the fault code to determine the problem most auto stores offer this service for free
You can basically use any oil you want. If you do regular oil changes Go with the less expensive. If you skip oil changes . Go with a better grade/ name/ high mileage. I change mine 4 times a year and go with the cheapest I can find. I use 10w30 in the winter time and switch to 10w40 in the summer. I have 175,000 miles on my truck and haven't had a problem. I also use an oil ttreament in each oil change since I hit 100,000 miles. I put in one pint of treatment untill I hit 200,000, then I will go to one quart. I have done this with a couple of cars and when I sold them they still had at least 40 pounds of pressure. Also I only change my oil filter every other time.
I would not go by the oil change company recommendation.
It's much better to go by the car manufacturer's recommendation. Look in your owner's manual for the recommended time/mileage to change the transmission oil and filter.
Turn the key to the on position(do not start the engine) Pump the gas pedal 3 times within 5 seconds. The change oil light should start flashing. Turn the key to the off position. The next
time you start the vehicle, the light should go on briefly then go out.
